LAMP-CHIMNEY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 11, 1906.

Application filed March 13, 1906. Serial No, 305,864.

To (tZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT M. WEBB, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Deering, in the county of Josephine and State of Oregon, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Chimneys, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates toimprovements in lamp-chimneys, its object being to provide simple and effective means whereby a heated chimney may be removed from the lampburner and handled without burning the fingers, and whereby also a clean chimney may be handled without becoming soiled or marked by thumb and finger prints.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a lamp-chimney embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the base thereof.

The chimney 1 may be of any desired form and is provided with the usual base portion 2 to seat within the lamp-burner. In accordance with my invention this base portion 2 is provided at diametrically opposite sides With the thumb and finger pieces 3 and 4. These may be of any desired height and width and preferably have an external transverse curvature corresponding to the curvature of the base 2 to adapt them to be conveniently engaged by the enveloping hand of the operator. The finger-pieces are preferably integral with the base and are of looped form In handling the chimney, one of the projections is engaged by the thumb and the other by one or more of the fingers of the hand, thus enabling the chimney to be conveniently removed from a burner without burning the hand. The finger-pieces further enable a clean chimney to be handled Without the same becoming soiled or marked by thumb or finger prints, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is I A lamp-chimney provided upon its base with a pair of diametrically-disposed vertical grasps, said grasps being of looped form to provide air-passages between the same and the base, and having their outer surfaces transversely curved on arcs concentric with the base, whereby they are adapted to be conveniently engaged by the enveloping hand of the operator.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HERBERT M. WEBB.
